Why don't we use the fastest possible processors in all devices?

Why don't we use the fastest possible processors in all devices?

A normal desktop or laptop CPU like the Intel i9-14900KS or AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D is cheaper, more efficient, and better suited for everyday computing.

So it’s not possible to use the fastest prcessor on ALL device.

And, this happens every time. Once you buy the fastest processor available, there would be faster processor available — faster than what you just buy. If you keep waiting for the fastest one, you will never get any device.

I’m wondering about attachment and transference with the therapist and the idea of escape and fantasy? How much do you think your strong feelings, constant thoughts, desires to be with your therapist are a way to escape from your present life? I wonder if the transference serves another purpose than to show us our wounds and/or past experiences, but is a present coping strategy for managing what we don’t want to face (even if unconsciously) in the present—-current relationships, life circumstances, etc. Can anyone relate to this concept of escape in relation to their therapy relationship? How does this play out for you?

Then, the manufacturers also need to reach larger market. Not all consumer would pay for the fastest device. Some can use device using lower speed processors.

The 7995WX is a massive workstation CPU that requires a large motherboard (sTR5 socket) and specialized TRX50/WRX90 chipsets. It won’t fit in a laptop or even most consumer desktop PCs.

Let’s see. The fastest available processor is now (March 2025) AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7995WX.

The 7995WX is designed for professionals in industries like VFX, engineering, and AI research.

Priced at $10,000+, it’s far too expensive for regular users. Most people don’t need 96 cores and 192 threads for daily tasks like gaming, web browsing, or office work.

Most software (e.g., web browsers, games, basic applications) does not utilize that many cores. Gaming prefers high clock speeds, while the 7995WX is optimized for multi-threaded workloads like 3D rendering, AI training, and simulations.

Which AI tool is capable of writing code and creating software from simple instructions?

It has a TDP (Thermal Design Power) of 350W, which is much higher than standard CPUs (Intel i9-14900KS = 125W). Requires a high-end PSU (power supply unit) and extreme cooling solutions like custom liquid cooling. Do you want this thing inside your smartphone?
